yikes, sounds like its a fair trade, but do you want to go fast or look good?

fucking trade - fast > looks anyday....that is to say as long as the engine is in good, tuned condition

If it's legit, this sounds like a good deal to me. Get more details, test drive, etc.

um yeah that sounds funny if all that is done to the motor why is he trading it for a car with little doneto it? also you live in ohio rust is cancer and any honda owner will tell no rust is way better then just a little rust.

so he came over today and i drove the car and it was insane ..3rd gear as soon as it hits boost tires spin like crazy..he has alot of interior things and more engine things i didnt know about so now hes wanting 2500-3000 extra to trade..so i dont know if its worth it but it was fast as hell and he ran a 12.3 spinning on bad tires ..so now i have some thinging to do...what you all think..is it worth the 2500 extra?? plus i have small body damage that woudl be about 800 to fix and he has that 00' front end and that was probably 700 or so i dont know..what you think??

honda blocks don't need to be heat treated, and block gaurds are garbage. Why does he want to trade? the front end is wack too. EG's are sick looking enough. can you get some pix??

Your going into the purchace blind, you don't know how half ass of a job they did, and hell you don't even know if its actually bored, or anything at that. Rust is a bitch to work with, EK fronts on EGs are wack, and he is totally robbing your money with the car + cash. Keep the EK and stick the money into YOUR motor, YOUR setup, and YOUR car. You'll be happier knowing you did it yourself.

I'd take it in a heartbeat. Finding a dirt cheap rust-free roller isn't exactly difficult to do. Get a dyno of the car, but from the sounds of it the engine in that car makes it well worth it.

You did a good job of losing me though, "I hate the EK front end, but I like the EK better"??? Make up your mind.
